In this How To we are going to build util-linux 2.24 with our GCC/G++ 4.8.2 cross-compiler. Be sure to start this build in a new terminal/tab to avoid any pollution from previous builds. At the time, I only needed the col program (for man). Feel free to take it beyond that :-)
Tar Balls
Here is a list of source packages that we'll need for the build. You can either download them now or wait 'til later in the How To.
util-linux-2.24
Create a Workspace
I recommend creating a workspace under your /home/<your user>/ directory that is dedicated to this build. So let's fire up your terminal and run the following:
NOTE: Depending on whether you are using a cross-compiler built from my other wikis you might need to change INSTALLDIR to point to your cross-compiler.
Build Util-linux
Again, at the time I just needed the col program. So, that's all I'm building here. Make them all if you want 8P
$ cd ../build/
$ ../src/util-linux-2.24/./configure --prefix=/home/<your user>/workbench/utillinux/final --host=$TARGETMACH
$ make col
$ make install
Output
Yours will obviously vary depending on what you built. Want more info??
How To Build Util-linux for ARM

I recommend creating a workspace under your /home/<your user>/ directory that is dedicated to this build. So let's fire up your terminal and run the following:
Gather the Sources
Now that we have a workspace created and we are currently in the src directory we can begin bringing down the sources and extracting them.

Build Environment
To make things a little smoother let's setup some environment variables:
$ export INSTALLDIR=~/workbench/gcc-g++-4.8.2/arm $ export PATH=$INSTALLDIR/bin:$PATH $ export TARGETMACH=arm-none-linux-gnueabi $ export BUILDMACH=i686-pc-linux-gnu $ export CROSS=arm-none-linux-gnueabi $ export CC=${CROSS}-gcc $ export LD=${CROSS}-ld $ export AS=${CROSS}-as $ export CXX=${CROSS}-g++NOTE: Depending on whether you are using a cross-compiler built from my other wikis you might need to change INSTALLDIR to point to your cross-compiler.Build Util-linux
